Iíve heard people talk, teach, and/or preach the idea that thereís no hell. To believe that you must believe that thereís no devil (or that satan doesnít exist). If you believe that thereís no devil, you must believe that there is no sin. If thereís no sin, than why is there so much death and destruction on earth? God created life, not death, and he created what was good to be good, not evil. If there is evil, and God didnít create evil, then evil generated from somewhere else. God has the power to create and destroy, but he will not destroy what is good. For this reason we must believe one of two things to be consistent. (1) There is no God either. Here are the basics. If thereís no hell, than there is no heaven and therefore no God. But since there is God, than there is heaven. This leads us to the second option. ; (2) Because there is a heaven, then there must be a hell because, for God to destroy the originator of evil on this earth, he must have a place to destroy him. Truth, hell was created by God to destroy evil. Just like we burn what was once good, but has now become bad, God has to burn who was once good (Lucifer becoming satan) but now is evil. Hell was created for satan and his demons with him. It was not created for men and women, but men and women who join satanís kingdom by not following Christ will join satan in his destiny. Does this make God an angry God and not loving? Absolutely not! That is why God sent Jesus Christ to the earth to bear the burden of our sin so that now the way to get to God is not so much to live a perfect life, but to live the kind of life that says, ďChrist has redeemed me from that bondage to death (sin) by which I was once bound.Ē It is a loving God who Himself comes to pay our debt we owed not to God, but to hell.

This is getting longer than I wanted. If you have any questions, do e-mail me. If not, thatís ok to.

Where do you come up with such unscriptural nonsense as: "If there is evil, and God didnít create evil, then evil generated from somewhere else. OF COURSE God created evil. Let me quote to you a very profound Scripture:

"I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL [Heb: 'ra' the same word translated evil over SIX HUNDRED TIMES in the Old Testament, as in the tree of the knowledge of good AND EVIL]: I the Lord do all these things" (Isa. 45:7).God be with you,Ray
